What to expect
Your guide collects you from Strasbourg and drives you along the Alsace wine route, stopping at three hand-picked Grand Cru producers. Each visit follows a similar rhythm: walk the vineyard, meet the winemaker, and taste their selections in the cellar or tasting room. You'll compare vintages and parcels side-by-side, building a clearer sense of how slope and soil shift flavour. The winemakers enjoy explaining why their hillside names matter and what makes their wines distinctive. Between stops, your guide provides context on regional history and vineyard classifications. Lunch is arranged separately to suit your preference.
